#SeditionHunters - gofers like #LemonyKickit can be more important than VIPs for understanding the Capitol attack! He shows the planning & coordination. Watch him run all over the grounds live-streaming & following orders in new reel by @StevieG54099097 1/

#LemonyKickit’s zig-zag path also shows the Capitol attack did not go as fast as planned. During the drawn-out W. Plaza fight, he & pal #LemonZest spend an hour taking phone calls & reversing direction, waiting to move East. 2/

At 1:20 PM #LemonyKickit's part of a charge East that we call “Exodus 0.5": flag wavers signal & people flood onto the NW lawn (L). But the rush is called off, maybe because the Plaza fight was slow. Lemony takes a call; everyone backtracks; by 1:26 the lawn is clear again (R) 3/

Lemony goes out to the far edge of the W. lawn for a meeting (1:40 PM, L), then back in to film on the W. Plaza while fighters launch an organized attack on police guarding the NW Scaffold. After the mob breaks police lines, he’s seen heading out again (1:50 PM, R)... 4/

… for the true “Exodus 1”: by 1:54 #LemonyKickit is waiting at the NE corner, along with some other well-studied perps. If you look closely in this video you can see #ZZTopPB signaling on the left. A few minutes later they will both start the breaches on the East Plaza. 5/

#LemonyKickit rushes to the E. stairs to film, then pushes to the front & helps break the police line. He runs up, cuts right, & changes roles: 20 minutes later he’s back for the attack on the E. door, now without the camera, in a neck gaiter and wearing ballistic glasses. 6/

If #LemonyKickit is a gofer, his boss needs to see him! His bright yellow Gadsden hat is easy to track. At the end of the day, though, after police have re-taken the Capitol, he makes a more discreet exit wearing a black hat instead. 7/

So mid-level perps are instructive - and should make excellent cooperating witnesses. For another, see updated reel on #MaroonPB, who bosses his fellow Proud Boys & busts barricades on both sides of the Capitol. @AE06788511 found Lemony, let’s find more 8/

As always, many many people in the #SeditionHunters community contributed to finding footage; this is a true crowdsourced effort. @JohP123's sharp eyes found Lemony in the black hat. All video sources are fully documented in notes field. 9/

The hope is to get more of these made - more video editors have volunteered, thank you! As reels and maps are made we'll get them posted up on each perp's page on jan6attack.com. 10/
